Exegesis
A trio of Qal cohortatives—evcharah {אֶבְחֲרָה | ʼĕḥă-rāh} ‘let me choose’, ve-akumah {וְאָקוּמָה | wə’āqûmāh} ‘let me arise’, ve-erḍefah {וְאֶרְדְּפָה | wə’ērdəp̄āh} ‘let me pursue’—express strategic counsel and urgency, with na {נָא | nāʼ} adding politeness.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:1
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and let me arise and pursue after David tonight .”
